EPFL's guidance says enterprise Microsoft 365 Copilot is available via an EPFL account, but is not currently secure for regulated data because EPFL has no signed data-processing agreement.

Never input confidential, private or personal information about yourself or others into these tools. Always reflect first on the nature of the information you are using, because once you enter it into one of these tools, it’s no longer confidential.

EPFL rules (Lex 1.3.3, Article 4) require that all assessment material that is not the student’s personal and original contribution must be recognizable as such. Therefore, the use of AI tools should be disclosed in a statement.

Since there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ rule regarding the use of AI in assessment, it is recommended that teachers make explicit to students what kind of use is not legitimate in their course, and what rules accompany the use of AI tools.

The use of AI-generated content in assignments without proper attribution is considered AI plagiarism. Tools that specifically aim to detect whether content was AI-generated (e.g., turnitin ) are not admissible as stand-alone evidence of AI plagiarism due to their high risk of false positives

However, enterprise licenses such as Microsoft 365 Copilot via your EPFL account are currently not a secure solution for processing regulated data, because no data processing agreement has been signed by EPFL that would guarantee that data protection measures align with institutional needs or with Swiss legislation on personal data protection.

EPFL advises students not to input confidential, private or personal information into generative AI tools. When using generative AI tools, students are sharing data with private companies and lose control over it.

EPFL requires students to disclose the use of AI tools in assessment work. EPFL rules (Lex 1.3.3, Article 4) require that all assessment material that is not the student's personal and original contribution must be recognizable as such.

EPFL recommends that teachers make explicit to students what AI use is not legitimate in a course and what rules accompany AI tool use.

EPFL considers the use of AI-generated content in assignments without proper attribution as AI plagiarism. Tools that detect AI-generated content are not admissible as stand-alone evidence of AI plagiarism due to high risk of false positives.

EPFL guidance says enterprise licenses such as Microsoft 365 Copilot via EPFL account are currently not a secure solution for processing regulated data because EPFL has not signed a data processing agreement guaranteeing aligned data protection measures.
